Rahul

So, lately I have been talking to a lot of new friends I have made on Facebook! One such friend includes Rahul. He is a kind and thoughtful person and has been struggling with Hemophilia all of his life. Please read his story. I am hoping that it will inspire you donate to his cause by clicking the donate button!

Hello my name is Rahul I am a severe factor 8 from India. I have a family history of Hemophilia and throughout my life it has caused me many problems.
The medicine used to treat a bleeding episode is very expensive and hard to get. The Hemophilia Treatment Centre is far away and is hard for me to get to.
I would love to improve my quality of life and would like to do so by opening my own business. The idea is to open a gift shop that sells fancy stationary and specialty items. Once I open my store I plan on employing other Hemophiliacs as well. Opening my own business would give me my independence and help me and my family with our medical expenses. Please donate to my cause and help us start a new life!

Thank you to Rahul for sharing your story and I am hoping that will encourage us to get involved and help out where we can!
